Secondly, we must consider the health benefits. We’ll all walk a little more. This will reduce
visits to doctors’ offices and hospitals because we’ll be healthier. We’ll have improved blood pressure,
lower stress and possibly a better complexion.

In addition, free transportation will encourage us to enjoy the company of our friends and
family. It will become much more feasible to safely drink another glass of wine at the restaurant or
have that extra beer at the family gathering. We’ll avoid the worry of getting behind the wheel with a
blood-alcohol level that’s above the legal limit. Fewer accidents, fewer tragedies, lower costs of
policing and reduced court backlogs. The increased public expense in transportation should pay off in
the form of reduced health care costs and a safer society.
Then, think about some of the other social benefits: imagine how much we’ll learn from each

other when we share rides instead of sitting in isolation in our cars. Talking to the neighbors might
come back into fashion. More people will meet and talk and maybe even help each other.
Having someone else drive us will also give us more time for reading books and newspapers.
So, park your car and use it for your dream vacation.
No more fumbling for change, just hop on and off the streetcar or bus wherever and whenever
you like. What a great idea, especially for those who live in crowded, polluted cities. It will renew life

on our streets.
So I can’t agree more with this proposition. Let’s go for it!
